Bed Bugs

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that feed on human blood. Their name comes from their preferred hiding spots—beds and other furniture near where people sleep. Although most active at night, bed bugs are not strictly nocturnal and can feed undetected while you rest.

These pests have been biting humans for over 3,000 years and can be found anywhere people gather, including homes, hotels, schools, theaters, offices, and public transportation. Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, spreading by latching onto luggage, clothing, purses, and personal belongings.


Health Concerns from Bed Bugs

While bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, they can still cause a range of health issues:

-Itchy red welts or skin rashes        -Allergic reactions       -Sleep disruption and anxiety
 

Bed bug bites typically occur at night and often go unnoticed. Bites can take 3 to 10 minutes to complete, and symptoms may not appear immediately. Some people show no reaction at all, while others develop swelling or irritation within a day or two.

Unlike fleas, which tend to bite around the ankles, bed bugs target any exposed skin. This includes your face, neck, shoulders, arms, back, and legs—wherever you're unprotected while sleeping.

Insecticide Solution

Our bed bug chemical treatments use a strategic combination of low-toxicity, professional-grade products designed to eliminate bed bugs in all life stages. Because bed bugs are known to be resistant to many insecticides, our approach focuses on direct application to known hiding places for maximum effectiveness.


What to Expect:

  • Insecticide sprays, including insect growth regulators, are applied to: 
    • Cracks and crevices 
    • Behind baseboards 
    • Along ceiling and floor edges 
    • Trim joints, closets, and window/door frames 
    • Mattresses, drapes, and carpeted areas where activity is present 
  • Aerosol formulations are used in hard-to-reach areas such as: 
    • Undersides and tracks of drawers 
    • Nail holes, chipped paint, and carpet tack strips 
    • The wooden framework of box springs 
  • Insecticidal dust is applied to: 
    • Wall voids 
    • Electrical outlets and switch plates
       

This method is precise and thorough, but due to the life cycle of bed bugs, a minimum of one follow-up treatment is required 7–10 days later to eliminate newly hatched bugs. In severe infestations, a third treatment may be necessary.
